We locked both Y and X arms with POY11 and POX11.
RFM fix (40m/16887) enabled us to use triggering using C1:LSC-TRY/X_OUT.
IR beam is now centered on TMs using ASS (for Yarm, ASS loops cannot be closed fully, so did it manually).
What we did:
- Aligned both arms so that the beams are roughly centered at TMs using cameras.
- Yarm lock was easy, but Xarm lock required gain tuning. Somehow, Xarm required x3 higher gain as follows, although the amplitude of POX11_I_ERR seems to be almost the same as POY11_I_ERR. I suspect it is something to do with power normalization matrix (TRX flashing is almost a double of TRY flashing).
C1:LSC-YARM_GAIN = 0.01
C1:LSC-XARM_GAIN = 0.03
- Run ASS for Yarm. ASS loops cannot be closed fully using default feedback parameters. I guess this is because ITMY ULCOIL is not working (40m/16873). ASS demodulated signals were manually zero-ed by manually aligning ETMY, ITMY and PR3 (and some TT1 and TT2), except for demodulated signals related to ITMY. Beam on ITMY was centered just by using our eyes.
- Run ASS for Xarm. It seemed to work well.
- After this, TRX and TRY were as follows and beam positions on TMs were as attached.
C1:LSC-TRX_OUT ~0.95
C1:LSC-TRY_OUT ~ 0.58
(TRX is somehow lower than what we had yesterday... 40m/16886; TRX and TRY photodiode alignment was checked, but seems to be OK.)
- Centered TMs and BS oplevs.
Next:
- POX and POY demodulation phases are not fully optimized. Needs re-tuning.
- Tweak GRX and GRY injection (restore GRY PZTs?)
- Install ETMXT camera (if it is easy)
- MICH locking
- RTS model for BHD needs to be updated |
